Rubbish Bin Collection

[Michael Parnham]

Can you remember the good old days when all you had was a small metal tub as a bin, in those day the bin men would come to your house empty that bin into there bin and swing it on there shoulder and off they went down to the lorry, if you had any other rubbish he would come back and do the same.
When we was kids we use to chuck the extra bags into the back of the truck while they watch over us, and at Xmas there was always a few bob in a envelope for the bin men for all there good work,
